Pine Barrens/South Jersey run

[sk1er17]

yea that's one of the 'deeper' spots there, you can go around it. and that's actually not the main area to offroad.

but you guys just reminded me, i left a lecture at Rutgers to tow my buddy out who had a full size bronco on 33" mudders, then i drove back up to Rutgers just in time for my next class

^^ same area i was stuck in, but picture is taken from the other side

Hahaha, that's sick. As long as I don't have to risk a hydrolock, I'm def down with the first option you posted assuming there will be some water, mud pits and a handful of interesting crawls/climbs.

 

[sk1er17]

depending on what time we all meet up and go out there, we could do both places

 

[hunterdan]

Im down with hitting up both places..

[Paraphoe]

Done and done. Now we just gotta get some more interest and pick a date. I sent out like 6 PMs earlier, so hopefully a few more people trickle in.

 

[hunterdan]

I think we should invite Iz, I know how much he likes to play in the mud. Plus with the lockers and all that travel he should have no trouble with that hill climb.

[sk1er17]

Who's Iz? (sorry... been outta the explorer seen too long)

And is Chris still around with his black SAS'd 98 sport? Last I talked to him (probably about a year or more ago) he moved so he's not near Paragon anymore...

hey im probably in if ya'll don't mind havin a ranger in the mix, i went down to wharton with matt in november and had a blast, trying to avoid the really deep water seeing as i already hydrolocked once, but i love a good mud pit to mess around in, hill climbs are awesome too

 

[hunterdan]

I havent seen Chris in a few years, helped me a couple times, and I helped him out getting him parts at the parts store I worked at. Iz, IZwack, a moderator here and pretty cool guy with his rig and fancy tow rig.

^^ calm down with the posting there pete... you're gonna go over your 1/2 post per year limitation

 

[gearhead299]

better than being a ho i guess

 

[Paraphoe]

Haha, we'd love to have a Ranger. Mix it up a bit. I'll PM IZ the info.

 

[gearhead299]

just cause i love to show off my pictures and this is pretty much my first introduction to the site, this is what i'll be bringin to the party

 

[emtkfresh]

hmm...I have just completed the install on my 04's new motor.. I wonder if its a good idea to take it out again.. Went out once.. in barely anything, drove through a semi-deep puddles and got hydrolocked or what the insurance company called water intrusion. .

what do you all think.. just some trails with no puddles would be nice.. or some hills.. i think im done with water for now..

 

[sk1er17]

haha yea been there/done that.. twice! (do a search for the word hydrolock with my screen name

there's always ways around the water without going through

 

[hunterdan]

The more rigs the better.

yea, come along, you can drive around. I wish I had my snorkel done.

Snorkel?

 

[Paraphoe]

Snorkel?

It's one of the next things on my list. I guess I shouldn't say "done" because that implies that I've started.

After the exhaust, the next things on the list are a locker, sliders, AAL and snorkel, but I have $11 in my bank account, so no locker, sliders or AAL anytime soon. Snorkel is the only thing I can afford right now. Haha. But I have no clue when I'll have time to get it done.

 

[hunterdan]

I actually have a set of AAL that I am not using. I did use them for a year or so, so there is the normal rust and I don't have the center pins as I had to cut them off. But if you want I can bring them down for you. It would help eliminate some of parts I have sitting in the garage not getting used. I should dig through my pile of parts and see what I Have laying around that Im not using. So yeah if you want them you can have them.
